Bronny James Makes NBA History with Guaranteed Contract to Play Alongside Father LeBron James on Los Angeles Lakers.
Los Angeles, CA – In a groundbreaking move that has sent shockwaves through the NBA community, Bronny James, the son of basketball legend LeBron James, has secured a multiyear fully guaranteed rookie contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. This historic development comes after Bronny was drafted as the No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA draft to play alongside his father on the same team.
The decision to offer Bronny a guaranteed contract, rather than the typical rookie two-way contract for second-round picks, underscores the Lakers’ commitment to nurturing his talent and potential. With this move, Bronny has the opportunity to create history by playing alongside his father and establish himself as a key developmental piece for the franchise’s future.
While LeBron James is yet to formalize his new contract with the Lakers, reports suggest that he is poised to secure a max contract from the team, signaling a shift in strategy towards building around the James family rather than pursuing additional free agents for a late-career championship push. Despite LeBron’s willingness to take a pay cut, the Lakers’ focus on securing his son’s future in the organization has taken precedence.
Under the mentorship of new coach JJ Redick, as well as the guidance of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Bronny James is set to embark on his NBA journey and hone his skills at the highest level of professional basketball. The stage is set for Bronny to carve out his own legacy while following in the footsteps of his illustrious father.
